Accident Reporting

Accident Reporting & Investigation

Recent figures show that an average of 250 employees are killed each year, with a further 150,000 sustaining a major injury or an injury that means they are absent from work for more than three days.

As an employer you have a legal duty to record and report certain types of accidents. More importantly carrying out your own accident investigations will allow you to understand why the accident happened and prevent future accidents.
